Value is an integral part of the draft process. Understanding the board is vital to judging how teams maximized value during the draft.

Arif Hasan of Wide Left Football creates the go-to consensus board, ranking the top 300 players in the draft class based on 101 big boards from draft analysts. As Hasan noted, “the consensus of these experts does a better predictive job than individual experts.”
